| 1 | Intrauterine growth restriction alters growth performance, plasma hormones,and small intestinal microbial communities in growing-finishing pigs显示文摘Background: The interaction of the gut microbiota with key metabolic and physiological processes may be associated with poor growth outcomes in animals born with intrauterine growth restriction(IUGR).Results: Growth performance, plasma hormone concentrations, and intestinal microbiota composition were analyzed in IUGR pigs and in normal birth weight(NBW) pigs when the NBW pigs reached 25, 50, and 100 kg of body weight(BW). Compared to NBW pigs, IUGR pigs had lower initial, weaned, and final BW, and lower average daily gain and average daily feed intake in all the considered time points. In the 25 kg BW group, IUGR pigs had higher concentrations of plasma ghrelin and pancreatic polypeptide(PP), but lower insulin concentration than NBW pigs, while the situation was reversed in the 50 kg BW group. As compared to NBW pigs, IUGR pigs had higher microbial alpha diversity in the jejunum and ileum;in the 50 and 100 kg BW groups, IUGR pigs had higher Firmicutes abundance but lower Proteobacteria abundance in the jejunum, and lower Lactobacillus abundance in the jejunum and ileum;in the 25 kg BW group, IUGR pigs showed higher unclassified Ruminococcaceae abundance in the ileum;and in 25 and 50 kg BW groups, IUGR pigs showed lower Ochrobactrum abundance in the jejunum.Spearman's correlation revealed that Lactobacillus was negatively correlated with growth performance, while unclassified Ruminococcaceae was positively correlated. Predictive metagenomic analysis detected significantly different expression of genes in the intestinal microbiota between IUGR and NBW pigs, suggesting different metabolic capabilities between the two groups.Conclusions: Growing-finishing IUGR pigs showed lower growth performance, higher microbial alpha diversity, and differences in plasma hormone concentrations compared to NBW pigs. Alterations in the abundance of Firmicutes,Proteobacteria, Ruminococcaceae, Lactobacillus, and Ochrobactrum in the small intestine may be associated with IUGR, and may therefore serve as a future target for gut microbiota intervention in growing-finishing IUGR pigs. | Liang Xiong Jinming You Wanghong Zhang Qian Zhu Francois Blachier Yulong Yin Xiangfeng Kong | 2021 | Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology2021,12,1: | 5 |
| 2 | 脂多糖刺激后不同时间断奶仔猪空肠上皮细胞铁死亡的变化规律显示文摘本试验旨在探究用脂多糖(LPS)刺激后不同时间断奶仔猪空肠上皮细胞发生铁死亡的变化规律。选取体重和遗传基础相近的21日龄杜×长×大断奶仔猪42头,饲喂基础饲粮14 d后,空腹注射LPS,按100μg/kg BW注射LPS后不同时间随机分为7个处理,分别于0、1、2、4、8、12、24 h屠宰取样,测定空肠上皮细胞铁死亡相关基因mRNA表达量以及抗氧化水平。结果表明:在LPS刺激后8 h,空肠上皮细胞铁死亡关键基因膜蛋白转铁蛋白受体1(TFR1)、热休克蛋白B1(HSPB1)、铁反应元件结合蛋白2(IREB2)和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶4(GPX4)的mRNA表达量最高(P<0.05);在LPS刺激后2 h,胱氨酸/谷氨酸反向转运体亚基(SLC7A11)的mRNA表达量最高(P<0.05);在LPS刺激后8、12、24 h,空肠上皮细胞总抗氧化能力(T-AOC)和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)活性均显著降低(P<0.05);在LPS刺激后8 h,谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量最低(P<0.05)。由此可见,在LPS刺激后8 h,断奶仔猪空肠上皮细胞铁死亡发生程度最为严重。 | 华洪葳 李先根 汪洋 杨骁航 张思怡 杨雨航 刘玉兰 许啸 | 2019 | 中国畜牧杂志2019,0,4: | 2 |
